Chapter 1209: Chapter 1209: A Different Kind of Monster

Five minutes later, as Fei Lei and the others had walked off into the distance, Gu Fan looked at the boundless dark sky, his mood very heavy; he couldn’t help but sigh.

Lin Xi then asked, "I don’t understand. These people are just a bunch of scumbags with no background or strength, why do you bother helping them? Even if they were destined to go to Dark City, do you really think they would accomplish anything?"

To that, Gu Fan simply smiled, "Based on what we know so far, because the road to death is very dangerous, vehicles of Organization X going in and out of Dark City often break down. So, they often have to purchase from Ouyang Jin. Since the vehicles break down, what about the people?"

Lin Xi’s eyes lit up, "I get it, besides losing vehicles, Organization X must also have casualties, so they need replacements."

"Exactly, Organization X might just approach Frey and give him and his brothers some work," Gu Fan said, looking in the direction where Fei Lei and the others had departed with a slight smile, "If I were Organization X, I would definitely investigate Frey’s background. Considering his years of delinquency, coupled with being wanted and narrowly escaping death this time, I would surely trust Frey."

"I see, you’ve thought so far ahead," Lin Xi admired Gu Fan anew, then looking at him with interest, added, "If I’m not wrong, to be on the safe side, you must be planning to help more people like Fei Lei."

Gu Fan nodded, "Yes, I want Fei Lei to exchange his life for the lives of his brothers, he didn’t hesitate to fire at himself, such loyalty and responsibility, I believe he will keep his promise, even if it comes at a cost."

"We haven’t even reached Dark City yet, but we’ve already figured out a way to infiltrate Organization X with undercover agents," Lin Xi was somewhat excited, suddenly feeling that it was quite entertaining to match wits and brawn with such a huge and evil organization.

"Alright, let’s head back!" Gu Fan had just finished speaking when he suddenly felt something was amiss, as if something sinister was spying in the shadows.

Lin Xi felt it too, tensing slightly, then a chill ran up her spine.

"Be careful, the arrivals mean no good," Lin Xi was already in a spell casting stance, while at the same time, the low growls of wild animals came one after another.

In the dark forest, a swift shadow flickered around them, so fast it was unbelievable, leaving Gu Fan and Lin Xi’s eyes unable to keep up. No sooner had they turned to the left following a disturbance than the shadow moved at high speed to the right.

It was too fast, unbelievably so, Gu Fan and Lin Xi had no clue what the shadow was, it didn’t seem human.

With a roar, the shadow suddenly lunged at them, turning out to be a huge tiger opening its bloody maw in a ferocious display. But what was even more horrifying were its completely black eyes.

Lin Xi cast a Protective Barrier, but the normally solid defense shattered upon impact with the tiger, sending a shock wave that almost knocked her over.

The tiger fared no better, ending up bloodied and upside-down, emitting a pitiful moan.

"My goodness, can this tiger be any more exaggerated?" Gu Fan was tense, not expecting the tiger to be both so fast and so powerful.

Gu Fan now hoped that after its head was bloodied, the tiger would know to retreat, but he was wrong. To his disbelief, the tiger stood up again, and its wounds were healing,"

"No, that’s impossible," Gu Fan and Lin Xi watched in shock and awe. Black eyes, speed, power, and that healing ability were all too similar to a vampire.

To test this, Gu Fan directly cut his finger, blood gushing from the wound, dripping to the ground.

The tiger, upon smelling the blood, went crazy once again and pounced forward.

Gu Fan and Lin Xi immediately stepped back, and Lin Xi healed Gu Fan’s wounds and stopped the bleeding, cutting off the scent of blood emanating from him.

The tiger did not pounce again but crazily licked the blood on the ground, as if it wanted to swallow the soil as well.

Seeing the tiger’s behavior, it was almost certain; Gu Fan gestured with his eyes for Lin Xi to make a move.

Lin Xi used magic and directly caused a tree branch to fly into her hand, while in the process of flying, the branch was trimmed of some leaves by supernatural power, and its head sharpened into a spike.

Soon, after the tiger finished lapping up the few drops of blood on the ground, it once again fixed its gaze on Gu Fan and Lin Xi and roared repeatedly, clearly craving more.

Gu Fat was not scared at all, with his arms crossed, waiting for the tiger.

Roar, roar, roar, the tiger gathered strength in its legs and charged with fierce power, its imposing nature and gaping jaws were utterly terrifying.

Lin Xi made a move with a strong burst of supernatural power, which bound the tiger’s movements like an iron chain, causing it to fall directly to the ground, its roars turning into moans, and its fierce demeanor vanished.

"A blood-sucking tiger, huh? Since you possess vampire-like traits, it won’t make much of a difference," Lin Xi perked up her ears, pinpointed the location of the tiger’s heartbeat, and directly drove the wooden spike deep into it.

Just as expected, the tiger stiffened immediately, gradually turned ash-gray and completely matched the characteristics of a vampire.

"My god, could it be that the terrifying monsters in the Dark Night Primitive Forest are these..." Gu Fan and Lin Xi furrowed their brows, then together looked at the impenetrably dark forest, and finally understood why the vampire-harboring Organization X couldn’t eliminate the surrounding threats—because these monsters were more terrifying than vampires.

Now that he knew what kind of monsters were in the Dark Night Primitive Forest, Gu Fan became even more worried for Fei Lei and the others; it seemed that anyone who could traverse the path of death was no ordinary person; he really wanted to know how Jie and Hai had managed to get through it initially.

"Wait a minute?" Gu Fan was alarmed, lamenting that concern could cause chaos; he had been worried about Jie but had overlooked this detail.

Lin Xi had also thought of this, so she comforted Gu Fan with a phrase, "Alright, don’t think too much about it; we’ll go back now, confront them properly, but I believe they’ve already prepared their excuses."

Gu Fan suddenly realized, "Yes, they must be prepared, so we better not ask and just keep pretending we don’t know."

Lin Xi gave a slight smile, grabbed Gu Fan’s hand, and then floated up with him, taking to the sky.

Feeling the sensation of riding on a cloud again, Gu Fan felt a tickle in his heart and hastily asked, "Lin Xi, you promised you would teach m this magic; when will you fulfill that promise?"

"Fine, fine, I’ll teach you when we get back, okay?" Lin Xi said this, but for some reason, looking at Gu Fan like this made her feel somewhat uneasy.

Lin Xi repeatedly told herself that she was overthinking, that things were definitely not like that.
